[QUOTE="CEB, post: 896404, member: 4905"] I agree... that’s bunk. If we were really running our first team D against option every week, that would explain a lot! Northeast holding serve nicely here. (y) As for the defense question, I think it’s far simpler than we’re making it. You’re going to be good at what you emphasize. I am sure CPJ wanted a better defense but I also suspect it was never going to be a point of emphasis. It could’ve been improved with more and better staff, certainly, but honestly, a big part of the team identity was control the clock, control the ball, put up points and have just enough resistance on D that your opponent starts pressing and helping your D off the field. Death March, bend don’t break, rinse, repeat. Turnovers were gravy... doubly demoralizing. When we struggled it was when teams could slow the offense enough early to play from in front. “Duh, score more points and play good defense...” but seriously, we didn’t relinquish leads, and that usually wasn’t due to our defense.
